Former MI captain Rohit Sharma played a blinder of an innings to blow GT away in this do-or-die contest. His whirlwind knock of 81 off 50 powered MI to a match-winning total as GT were tasked with chasing a mammoth target of 229 to stay in the hunt for the second Qualifier. </p><p><strong>See also: </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/former-rcb-player-ab-de-villiers-playing-wheelchair-cricket-in-mumbai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Watch: Former RCB player AB de Villiers playing wheelchair cricket in Mumbai</a></p><p>Despite giving away such a massive score, GT started off in a resilient fashion, blazing their way to 100 for the loss of two wickets within 9.2 overs. Sai Sudharsan played a fighting knock of 80 off 49, and while he was there, GT's hopes of making it to the next stage were also alive. Sadly, he succumbed against the run of play due to intense scoreboard pressure, and a lack of contributions from the middle-lower order meant that GT fell short by a small margin of 20 runs.</p><p>While the MI supporters cherished the win, it was a moment of anguish for the GT fans and the support staff. To see their team crumble in such a fashion triggered a teary-eyed reaction from the GT fanbase, who at the time were present in the stadium in sizeable numbers. The defeat was emotionally charged for the Gujarat Titans. Shubman Gill's sister, Shahneel, and coach Ashish Nehra's son were seen in tears in the stands, reflecting the personal stakes involved in high-profile cricket matches.</p><p>Probably the most affected of them all was Ashish Nehra's son, who simply couldn't digest the defeat of his father's side.

MI posted a solid score of 228/5 in their allotted 20 overs, led by Rohit Sharma, who made 81 off 50 balls, and Jonny Bairstow 47 off 22, while Hardik Pandya chipped in 22* off 9 balls. GT's bowlers struggled to contain the MI batters. Sai Kishore took 2/42 in his 4 overs, and Prasidh Krishna took 2/53 in his 4 overs; Mohammed Siraj took the only other wicket with 1/37 in his 4 overs. </p><p>GT chased 229 and managed 208/6 in their allotted 20 overs. The highest contributor was <a href="https://www.gujarattitansipl.com/players/sai-sudharsan-69500-profile">Sai Sudharsan</a> with 80 off 49 balls and Washington Sundar’s 48 off 24. MI bowlers were led by Trent Boult with 2/56 in his 4 overs and Jasprit Bumrah with 1/27 in his 4 overs, with Sai Kishore and Prasidh Krishna contributing in the field. GT could not keep momentum going after Sudharsan was dismissed. While they made a good case, the total overstretched them. This victory for MI took them to Qualifier 2 against Punjab Kings (PBKS); GT’s IPL 2025 had a disappointing ending. Here are the key reasons that GT lost to MI.</p><h3>1. Dropped Catches during Powerplay</h3><p>Gujarat’s fielders cost the team by dropping three easy catches in the powerplay. The dropped catches off Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav allowed MI to get a start and build momentum. These dropped catches gave MI an ideal start and upset GT’s bowling plans. Such errors are costly in knockout matches.</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/ipl-2025-eliminator-mumbai-indians-vs-gujarat-titans-full-match-highlights/">IPL 2025, Eliminator: Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans Full Match Highlights</a></p><h3>2. Expensive Bowling in Crucial Phases</h3><p>GT’s bowlers, particularly in the death overs, struggled to stem the run flow as MI made a massive total of 228/5. Both Prasidh Krishna (2/53) and Trent Boult (2/56) struggled with their line and length. They executed poor ball deliveries under pressure, and MI batters were able to get away for runs during the last overs due to ineffective bowling. The ability of the GT bowlers to defend important overs considerably tilted the match in MI’s favor.</p><h3>3. Batting Collapse After Strong Start</h3><p>After getting a solid 50-run stand from Sudharsan and Sundar, the innings lost its shape very quickly. The rare Kusal Mendis hit-wicket dismissal halted the momentum at a pivotal time. The lower middle order could not keep up with the run rate, which added pressure. Although there was a possibility of chasing down the runs, GT ended up losing by 20 runs.</p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[IPL 2025, Eliminator: Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans Full Match Highlights]]></title> <link>https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/ipl-2025-eliminator-mumbai-indians-vs-gujarat-titans-full-match-highlights/</link> <guid>https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/ipl-2025-eliminator-mumbai-indians-vs-gujarat-titans-full-match-highlights/</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 31 May 2025 00:17:01 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Mumbai Indians defeated Gujarat Titans by 20 runs in the IPL 2025 Eliminator to advance to Qualifier 2.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/05/WhatsApp-Image 2025-05-30 at 23.44.06_936b3fd5.webp" width="720" height="482" alt="Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans"/><p>In the IPL 2025 Eliminator at New PCA Stadium, Chandigarh, on May 30, 2025, <a href="https://www.mumbaiindians.com/">Mumbai Indians </a>(MI) defeated <a href="https://www.iplt20.com/teams/gujarat-titans">Gujarat Titans</a> (GT) in an entertaining contest. MI scored 228/5 in 20 overs. GT fought but managed to get only 208/6 in 20 overs, falling short by 20 runs. MI won and advanced to Qualifier 2, while GT's campaign ended in this knockout stage. </p><h3>Mumbai Indians Innings</h3><p>Mumbai Indians won the toss and decided to bat first. The team scored 228/5 in their 20 overs. Rohit Sharma was the star of the show with a stylish 81 off 50 balls, while national teammate Jonny Bairstow's quickfire 47 came off only 22 balls. Suryakumar Yadav added a decent 32 off 26 balls while MI took advantage of missed chances and sloppy fielding by GT. The Gujarat Titans bowlers made contributions by taking wickets as GT pulled wickets. GT Kolkata's Sai Kirshna and Prasidh Krishna took two wickets, while Mohammed Siraj picked up the last wicket for a total of six wickets in thirty overs.</p><h3>Gujarat Titans Innings</h3><p>GT's innings showed intent as they finished with a score of 208/6. Sai Sudharsan led the round with a good innings, scoring a classy 80 off 49 balls, while he was supported by Washington Sundar, who scored 48 off 24 deliveries. Kusal Mendis hit two sixes on debut before unfortunately being dismissed hit wicket for 20 runs, which is a very rare mode of dismissal in the history of IPL. Sherfane Rutherford played a part with 24 off 15. MI's Trent Boult, who finished with 2/56, and Jasprit Bumrah, who finished with 1/27, were economical for MI, and Mitchell Santner performed a role and removed the key hit wicket. MI advances to Qualifier 2 while ending the GT IPL 2025 year.</p><h3>GT vs MI: Post Match Reactions</h3><p><strong>Rohit Sharma (Player of the Match): </strong>Rohit Sharma was pleased with his performance, particularly in an important knockout game. He acknowledged some luck with dropped catches but emphasized his goal to put a total on the board after he got in. Rohit was glad to be batting with Jonny Bairstow and also praised his aggressive approach, as well as the whole team effort to put a challenging score on the board.</p><p><strong>Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians Captain):</strong> Hardik Pandya said the match could have gone either way, especially with the way the pitch was improving for batting in the second innings. Pandya was impressed by Jonny Bairstow's debut and enjoyed watching the "conscious effort" by Rohit Sharma to remain calm in his innings. He also credited Bumrah, Gleeson, and Ashwani in critical moments of the innings that helped them win.</p><p><strong>Ashwani Kumar (Mumbai Indians): </strong>Ashwani Kumar said he wasn’t expecting to be used as an impact substitute, as the initial plan was to use a spinner. But he thanked his coaches Lasith Malinga and Paras Mhambrey for helping him focus on his strengths and sticking to the plan. He said when it came to those last three balls, all he was thinking about was not bowling any extras and trying to keep calm under pressure. </p><p><strong>Shubman Gill (Gujarat Titans Captain): </strong>Shubman Gill said it was an exciting game for him, and "somehow nailing these small moments and getting results" is something "we didn't do" in the last few overs. Gill said that spilling three straightforward catches in the powerplay made it tough on the bowlers to build pressure. He credited Sai Sudharsan for his "consistently" good play and said that the team will take some positives from the match, despite losing. </p><p data-start="290" data-end="333"><strong>Also Read:<a

the New PCA Stadium in Chandigarh, Gujarat Titans’ (GT) wicket-keeper <a href="https://www.gujarattitansipl.com/players/kusal-mendis-63882-profile">Kusal Mendis</a> was dismissed hit wicket in the seventh over chasing a target against Mumbai Indians (MI). As Mendis faced off against a short delivery from Mitchell Santner, he moved back deep into his crease and inadvertently clipped the stumps with his back leg. He was dismissed for a quick 20 from 10 deliveries and became the third player in IPL history to be dismissed hit wicket.</p><p>Mendis was drafted into the squad as a replacement for Jos Buttler, who had to leave for national duty. He debuted for the franchise in this knockout encounter and endured a difficult day on field. First he dropped a catch each of Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav, highlighting his inefficiency behind the stumps. The dropped chances allowed MI to finish with a good score and put pressure on GT’s chase, knowing it was a do-or-die match.</p><p>At the crease, though, Mendis looked promising with the bat. When Shubman Gill fell first ball, he came in with Sai Sudharsan and attacked immediately. He hit two big sixes off Trent Boult and pushed momentum back into GT. The duo brought up a 50-run stand in just 28 deliveries, lifting GT's hopes before Mendis’ rare dismissal halted the surge.</p><h3>Momentum with GT Despite Unusual Dismissal</h3><p>Mendis' hit-wicket offered MI a brief opportunity to claw back into the game, but GT has continued to keep the scoreboard ticking.

While Mullanpur is hosting the Eliminator match, just like the Qualifier 1 fixture last night, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya chose to bat first after winning the toss. </p><h3>IPL 2025: MI's last three wins were all successful defending results</h3><p>The five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians made a dramatic comeback in the IPL 2025, as they finished in the fourth position in the points table to qualify for the Playoffs, starting from the Eliminator. MI recorded eight wins in the league stage of the season, and their last three wins were comfortable defending results, all wins by more than 50 runs. </p><p><strong>See Also: </strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/virat-kohli-s-sister-reacts-passionately-as-rcb-make-ipl-2025-final-in-picture/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli’s sister reacts passionately as RCB make IPL 2025 final</a></p><h3>IPL 2025, Eliminator, GT vs MI: Did MI take right decision to bat first</h3><p>It is not the same pitch where Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings faced each other last night in Qualifier 1. RCB clearly dominated in that match, where PBKS were bundled out for only 101 runs, and <a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/shaandaar-jeet-rcb-ka-jabardast-jalwa-rcb-crushed-pbks-by-8-wickets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RCB chased down the target</a> in 10 overs after losing only two wickets. Punjab batters completely struggled in the first innings, while RCB batters flew high on that low chase. So, MI's decision to bat first can be questioned, but the story isn't the same anyway.</p><p>Although the venue is the same, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maharaja_Yadavindra_Singh_International_Cricket_Stadium" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh</a>, the pitches are different. The Qualifier 1 pitch, which was played between PBKS and RCB, had a lot of grass. Apart from the RCB pacers, especially Josh Hazlewood, RCB leg-spinner Suyash Sharma also got help from that pitch.</p><p>The Eliminator pitch has less grass and seemed drier than the Qualifier 1 pitch. This pitch has been expected to be much slower. Understanding the Eliminator pitch in the initial moment, MI's decision can't be questioned much, especially when the dew factor isn't a big concern. </p><p> </p>]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[[WATCH] IPL 2025: Rohit Sharma reveals How he prepares mentally ahead of do-or-die IPL playoffs clash vs GT]]></title> <link>https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-ipl-2025-rohit-sharma-reveals-how-he-prepares-mentally-ahead-of-do-or-die-ipl-playoffs-clash-vs-gt/</link> <guid>https://www.cricketwinner.com/cricket-news/watch-ipl-2025-rohit-sharma-reveals-how-he-prepares-mentally-ahead-of-do-or-die-ipl-playoffs-clash-vs-gt/</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 30 May 2025 15:28:28 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Rohit Sharma's calm, focused approach and meticulous review of past performances underscore his mental preparation for MI's crucial IPL 2025 Eliminator against GT, highlighting his experience and adaptability as key factors in this high-stakes matchup.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<img src="https://media.cricketwinner.com/media/2025/05/Rohit_Sharma_1702746686721_1702746687613.webp" width="1600" height="900" alt=" Rohit Sharma "/><p><span id="input-sentence~0">As of the <strong><a href="https://www.cricketwinner.com/ipl-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IPL 2025</a></strong> playoffs on their way, <strong><a href="https://www.iplt20.com/teams/mumbai-indians">Mumbai Indians (MI)</a></strong> will be playing a crucial eliminator match in round 1 of the playoffs against the Gujarat Titans (GT) on 30 May 2025, Friday, at 7.30 PM IST.

"Every game is important, but playoff games have something more to them," he said. "I try to keep it simple. I look at my recent performances, check for improvements, and look for strengths. It is simply a matter of being calm and trusting the process." This shows how Rohit handles pressure, which has been a hallmark of his leadership profile in cricket.</span></p><p>As part of his preparation for match day, Rohit described how he spends time reviewing his game. He stated that he watches the highlights of each match so he can review his dismissals and the deliveries he struggled against. "I always try to watch the highlights of every match," he said. "I can then see where I went wrong. Is it a delivery type, a bowler's plan, or my own mistake? I then noted where things went wrong and worked on them so I didn't repeat the same mistakes. It is about learning."
